A loaf with seeds and nuts,no flour,no yeast…..this didn’t seem or look like an appetizing idea at all.

How will it rise ? Will it hold shape……What’s the taste like ? Is this a hard crusted or soft Loaf ? biscuit ?? bread ???

Wait….What’s this ?!! Does it have psyllium husk ! Well that is plain old Isabgol.An instant fiber,which my father in law consumes every night with a glass of water.

Gosh !!

A confused me set out to make this.I gathered all the ingredients,did my mis en place and proceeded to bake.

But What A SURPRISE !!!

Not only did this loaf taste great,it packed a rich flavorful bite.

Nutty and boisterously textured.It is a ‘whole and healthy’ recipe, with ingredients that give it a high dose of fiber,protein and nutritive content.The psyllium husk absorbs the moisture,plumps up and binds the loaf together.

I would say this is simple and easy to make……. a super healthy,alternative to regular AP flour or commercial breads.It can be assembled with various combinations of seeds and nuts.Sesame,poppy,peanuts,cashew nuts,walnuts,herbs,shredded coconut and more.

You could even try a sweetened version by omitting the savory spices and salt.Adding sweet dry fruit like dates,pistachios,dried apricots,cranberries,dried pineapple/mango etc. Just substitute apple or orange juice instead of the water.
